Despite these gaps, however, Far Eastern studies at Harvard are strong by comparison with most universities, and the skeleton of an extensive research program does exist. Chinese history and Far Eastern languages and anthropology are already well-staffed, and the present East Asia Regional Studies program gives graduate students both an M.A. and a vestible look at the immense problems of the Far East. In addition, Harvard's physical plant is uniquely suited to pursue further research; a special library of over 250,000 volumes is available in the Yenching Institute in Boylston Hall...

That prospective football players should be interviewed by coaches instead of by academic men is precisely the point: Harvard is the one American representative of a number of universities, especially in England and Germany, which exist for intellectual purposes. If a person wants only to play football, he can find hundreds of other colleges where he can display his talents...
